Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Is this a Syrphus ?

Could anyone confirm this is a Syrphus ? I've been checking at all places at hand, but found no Syrphus species looking like this one, and conversely, found no Syrphus species like this.

The fly is rather large. To give an idea of size, the flower (Rosa micrantha) is about 25 mm across. Picture was taken on 11 July at a mountain site in Sierra de Cazorla, southeastern Spain, at 1650 m elevation.

Thanks for any help !

No picture... Maybe you have to remove any spaces in the file name.

Thanks Jeroen.

This is my first post here, so perhaps I forgot something or I did something wrong. Let's try again.
